  2. What is EPS? What do they do? • EPS establishes the eligibility criteria for promotion • EPS provides for a semi centralized board(BN. Level) for SGT and SSG • EPS conducts a centralized board for SFC-CSM • EPS computes the scores and publishes a Standing Promotion List • EPS conducts the Qualitative Retention Board(QRB)

  3. Enlisted Promotion System ( EPS ) 1SG JAMIE CLARK DPER- Enlisted Personnel NCOIC SFC JOHN DRNEK Enlisted Promotions Systems Manager SSG KEVIN DEMARCUS SSG DONYA BENTLEY SGT ANTONETTE MILES SPC SACKSITH CHANTHARA 1 Position open

  4. How Many Promotions • From 1 April to 5 Jan EPS promoted 924 TNARNG Soldiers in the grades of SGT to CSM. This number does not include soldiers that have accepted an Exception to Policy (No-Fill) . Those soldiers have been placed in the slots but cannot be promoted until they become qualified

  5. iPERMS • iPERMS has become a very important part of your military career. • Paper copies are no longer used in your OMPF, everything is scanned into your iPERMS account. • Please check your iPERMS frequently and encourage your soldiers to check their accounts to ensure the information is in there and correct. • For missing information contact your RNCO

  6. REF: AR 600-8-19, Chapter 7, dtd 20 March 2008 E7 through E9 boards are centralized at Smyrna or Nashville. M-day or Technicians that do not circle any Mileage Range will be considered Statewide. AGR soldiers are CONSIDERED STATEWIDE only.

  7. Soldiers will be considered in their CPMOS which is usually their Primary MOS. Soldiers may request on a DA Form 4187 to be considered in a new CPMOS if there are compelling reasons. The request must be approved 30 days prior to the board date by the G-1. The request will be directed thru command channels to the G-1 for approval. A copy of the approved request will be placed with the packet. Previously approved requests should be attached to the packet for submission. If the CPMOS is different than their PMOS and there is not an approved 4187 the soldier will be considered in their PMOS.

  8. AWARDS, what is Considered • Fields 14 thru 23 are for Awards, up to a maximum of 10 (75 points maximum). This field is for individual awards only and does not include unit citations, the Good Conduct or comparable RC equivalent medals, nor Federal or State service or training medals and ribbons, and most badges. • (you don’t want an award on the 4100 that is not worth points)

  9. Weapons/APFT • Weapons Cards need to have: Name, SSN and the date of the test was administered with the scorers signature. *Weapons cards that are issued as “printouts” still need to have a verifying signature. • Readiness NCO’s should ensure that PT and Weapons scores are keyed into the UPS(Unit Personnel System) prior to the 4100’s being generated. This will minimize pen and ink changes and ensure accuracy. • These should also be scanned into iPERMS but may also be attached to the packet for verification of any line thru changes • IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR SOLDIERS TO CHECK THEIR iPERMS ACCOUNT

  10. How long are they good for? • Weapons qualifications are good for 2 training years. A training year is 1 Oct -30 Sept. So if you qualify in June 2008 it is good for training year 2008 and 2009 and you will need to qualify again as of Oct 1, 2009. • APFT are good for 18 months Mday and 8 months AGR.

  11. HOW FAR TO TRAVEL??? • Item 29d on the NGB 4100-1-R-E is your mileage selection. • Miles are figured from your HOR that is in SIDPERS to the zip code of the unit with the vacancy using Map quest. • Once selected you may not change your mileage selection until the next years board • If a vacancy opens and you have selected 50 miles and from map quest shows it is 51.2 miles it will not be offered to you.

  12. While we are this subject ….. • The home address and phone numbers that EPS uses are drawn from SIDPERS. This information need to be kept current. An updated ALERT Roster is a good thing but if the information is not correct in SIDPERS EPS could be figuring the mileage from the wrong address.

  13. OR • If a unit is trying to contact you to offer you a promotion, and the phone numbers in SIDPERS are not right, it is possible you could get bypassed. EPS will make every possible effort to make contact with a soldier before we bypass them but don’t put yourself or a soldier in your unit in the position to get skipped. A DA4187 is needed to update SIDPERS information.

  14. SIDPERS should have current • HOME ADDRESS • Home phone number • Work Number • Next of Kin If any of this information changes you need to submit a 4187 to update SIDPERS

  15. Photos are required • DA photos are required to be in iPERMS for E-6 and above. • DA Photos need to meet the requirements set forth in AR 640-30 para 8 dtd 10 Apr 2006 • Photos Labs are located in Jackson, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Johnson City and Nashville • Call 615-313-2621 for information on getting your DA photo.

  16. TARNGR 600-1 was rescinded effective 1Feb 2005. This move now allows marginal rated soldiers and also soldiers who may have a NO in values to be boarded. AR 600-8-19 para 7-33 addressees denying soldiers consideration for promotion

  17. NGB 4100-1-R-E

  18. You will also notice a new item has been added to the NGB 4100. Block 29a asks if a soldier wants to be considered for guest instructor position at 117th RTI. This block will have no bearing either way on a soldiers chance for promotion. EPS was asked for a way to generate names of soldiers who may be interested in being an instructor. Some soldiers who meet the strict requirements from the proponent school houses may be asked by the RTI to be a guest instructor. If they meet the requirements the soldier may then ask their unit to attend the Instructors Training Course.

  19. Each soldier may obtain a maximum of 600 Administrative points. You can obtain a maximum of 75 points for each category; Time in Grade 5 points for each full year from your DOR Time in Service 3 points per year of service Awards( not all awards are worth points) APFT (must be within 18 months 8 months for AGR) Weapons Qualification (good for 2 training years) you get: 75 points Expert, 50 points Sharpshooter 25 points Marksman Military Education 5 points per full week(5 days or 40 hours) for military resident courses other than NCOES Self development courses (correspondence courses) 1 point for each 5 credit hours and 5 points for each diploma that has 5 sub courses or 25 credit hours Civilian Education 1 point for each semester hour up to 60 hours. You get 75 points for a Bachelors Degree How do I get points?

  20. Soldiers must sign and date the NGB Form 4100-1-R-E, the commander or their designee can sign for the soldier but should verify the information with the soldier. board.

  21. What your signature means • When you sign your 4100, you are saying it is correct and you agree with it. • If it is wrong tell you RNCO and do a line thru correction, HOWEVER all line thrus must have documentation either in iPERMS or attached to the packet. • An incorrect 4100 may cause you to be on the wrong SPL or loose those valuable points

  22. NGB 4101-R-E • Each board panel will consist of 3 to a maximum of 5 voting members. Each member will award you points, the recorder will total your points and divide them by the number of voting panel members. This will be your board score.

  23. NGB 4101-1-R-E

  24. ARE YOU A LEADER? Do you want to be considered for 1SG and CSM? • Item 29b and 29c are to be checked if you want to be considered for leadership positions. • Leadership Boards are conducted by the States Senior Enlisted Leaders • Soldiers considered for these positions must score 189(70%) out of 270 points on the CSM/1SG Eligibility Score sheet

  25. Once you are boarded for Leaderships Positions and the score sheet is added up, you are either a select or non-select. If you score 189 or above you will be placed on the CSM or 1SG SPL and also boarded for your CPMOS If you are a Non-Select you will still be boarded in your CPMOS and placed on that SPL only

  26. NCOES • These numbers are as of 12 January 2009. They are staggering and show that we are lacking in getting our SGT’s – SFC’s NCOES Qualified. Although NCOES is not a requirement for the soldiers present grade, it is a requirement if the soldier wants to get promoted.

  27. SGT’s • 2137 total E-5s in the TNARNG • 833 NCOES Qualified (includes 26 NCOES qualified due to DOR prior to 1 OCT 1992 • 1304 SGT’s not qualified for promotion due to NCOES

  28. SSG’s • 1237 total SSG’s in TNARNG • 478 NCOES Qualified (includes 17 NCOES qualified due to DOR prior to 1 Oct 1992 • 759 SSG’s not qualified for promotion due to NCOES

  29. SFC’s • 638 total SFC’s in the TNARNG • 346 NCOES Qualified( includes 2 NCOES qualified due to DOR prior to 1 Oct 1992) • 292 SFC’s not qualified for promotion due to NCOES

  30. Adding it all up • 4012 total SGT thru SFC • 2355 SGT thru SFC not qualified for promotion because of NCOES • We all need to be looking at getting these soldiers in school.

  31. NCOER

  32. New Regulation AR 623-3, dtd 10 August 2007. Starting with the 2007 board cycle the new DA Form 2166-8, dtd March 2006 will be used. The Soldier, Rater, Senior Rater and Review must have a .MIL or .GOV email address. All NCOERS must be done by regulation or it WILLNOT be used by the board.

  33. The Rating scheme needs to look like this: Reviewer needs to be Senior to the Senior Rater. Senior Rater needs to be Senior to the Rater. Rater needs to be Senior to the Rated Soldier. All signatures and dates will be on or after the rating period however DA PAM 623-3, 3-5 part 2 states that they may be signed 14 days prior to the “thru date” of the report.

  34. Reviewer must check whether he or she Concur or Non Concur with the Rater or Senior Rater. Part IV Army Values, must be filled out can not be left blank. Part IV b thru f, bullet comments are Mandatory regardless if a soldier is marked Excellence, Success or Needs Improvement. Part V Overall Performance and Potential needs to be completed and not left blank.

  35. Who boards you when you volunteer for deployment? If a unit has soldiers deployed with another unit, in state or out of state, it is still your responsibility to make sure those soldiers get boarded. The Commander may sign for the soldier if they are not available. The soldier needs to be notified by email or phone to concur. RNCO’s should make every effort to verify the 4100 with the soldier. Remember these soldiers are going to be coming back to you when they return. Every soldier deserves the opportunity to be considered for promotion

  36. If you volunteer for deploymentyou will have a home when you return

  37. SECURITY CLEARANCE • AR 600-8-19 para 1-15 says: PROMOTION TO MSG and SGM REQUIRES AN INTERIM SECRET CLEARANCE OR HIGHER

  38. If you are selected: • you are offered a TN Form 0300 (Promotion Acceptance/Declination): • If you decline you will be REMOVED from the current SPL if within your mileage range unless: • You are a unit technician • There is a MOS compatibility issue (technicians only) • An Additional skill identifier (ASI) of Sniper is required (11B) • It’s not a guarantee, you must meet the requirements before you are promoted: • No FLAGS • NCOES • SECURITY CLEARANCE if MOS requires • Service remaining obligation(1 year for SGT and SSG: 2 years for SFC-SGM)

  39. If the SPL is exhausted • If the SPL for a MOS is exhausted EPS will check for soldiers that have the requested MOS as a Secondary or Additional MOS and are on the SPL under their Primary MOS. If any are identified and are within their mileage, a secondary list will be compiled in the order of their points. The position will be offered to those soldiers • A soldier that turns down a promotion opportunity in their SMOS or AMOS WILL NOT be removed from the SPL

  40. No soldiers on Secondary list • If there are no eligible soldiers identified on the Secondary list or if they turn down the promotion opportunity an Exception to Policy Letter (ETP or No- Fill) will be issued. There are 2 options with a ETP, they are; 1.Any soldier may be picked that is on the current SPL under another MOS. They will be moved into the position but not promoted until they become MOSQ

  41. OR • Soldiers who hold the MOS as their PMOS and are not on the SPL but are otherwise fully qualified may be offered the position • These soldiers will be place in the position but may not be promoted until they come out on the SPL

  42. Exception to Policy Letter (No Fill)

  43. If you accept a promotion while deployed to a unit scheduled to deploy you will go!!!!

  44. Effective 20 Jan 2009 STABILIZATION upon promotion is in effect

  45. What if I don’t come out on the SPL? • Contact your First Line Leader who will inquire as to why you are not on the SPL and get you an answer. If you are eligible for a Standby Advisory Board he will begin the process. • RNCO will get the documents needed for a STAB and forward the packet to JFHQ
